I recently got my hands on the new 2017 Roku Stick+ 4K version and decided to do a little unboxing and a head to head with the older 2016 Roku HD Stick. The main question I wanted to answer is would it be worth upgrading. I also wanted to give you an idea of what to expect when it came to using the new Roku Stick+.

In short, if you don’t have a 4K TV I am not sure I would upgrade. Yet there are a few reasons why I still would. The new 802.11ac WiFi on the stick is a huge step up from the older version. If you suffer from weak WiFi I would spend the money and upgrade.

The second feature that would make me upgrade is the new remote. The buttons are nicer and you can power on and off the TV as well as control the volume. All features that would make me want to upgrade to the new Roku 2017 4K Stick+.
